The closed railway line at Ridding Lane, Wednesbury, looking south in April 2004. The posts for two of Wednesbury's colour light signals are still visible. On the left is the up home (WY4), re-positioned to this location just short of Lower High St road bridge. It was three-aspect, with a subsidiary calling-on signal and two stencil indicators below. In earlier times it was positioned in rear of the Ridding Lane bridge, from which this photo was taken. The old post,
visible in this shot
, survived until the line was closed and beyond. Nearer the camera is the three-aspect down starter (WY47).
